I use Edge as I used to use Internet Explorer: to download Chrome.

MS seems unable or unwilling to make a decent browser. Edge can't be started until you click next through three screens where it tries to make you to create an account with them. The default homepage is full of ads on that website of theirs. I could go on and on, but seriously, I don't think anyone cares about Edge performance.

Either things are encrypted or they are not. Things can't be encrypted for some and unencrypted for others.

In case of a complete disaster recovery, the fact that a script or two might fail is super OK. That's why after recovery there's always the cleanup phase where you fix stuff that broke during recovery.

Maybe this will help someone to not over-engineer a kart: in Vietnam you can rent karts bolted onto hoverboards. They have pedals for forward/backward that just tilt the hoverboard in the right direction. Very low-cost solution. Steering is normal with the front wheels.

You can get these in the UK as well based on the squeals of joy I heard from two lads racing up and down our road a few days back - looked like great fun!

And ChatGPT said: “It is a great idea, the people will love it!”.

I don't see the need for sarcasm. Most mid-size and up companies have security departments. And they use tools to make their jobs easier.

The problem with the cloud, from a security standpoint is that is it much more complex than a traditional on-premise infrastructure, especially if you go the "managed services" route and have minimal code.

They don't only look at the configuration of the VM, they also look inside the data inside the VM.

Customers will not start using GCP more instead of AWS for example just because Google owns Wiz.

Degrading Wiz capabilities on AWS/Azure/etc will not drive more customers to Googke. CSPM and cloud workloads don’t go hand in hand. What will happen is that other companies will capture the market share left by Google. Will the offerings be less then Wiz quality-wise? Sure, but it will be way cheaper than moving to GCP.

The best option will be to leave Wiz as it is - standalone.

I second that. AWS is insanely granular.

As a GCP user, my view is that Google does Googly things and hopes others will use them. And if not enough people don’t buy into whatever Google builds because it is built by Google, they will cancel it.
